This short post show you, how to resize small vhd/vdi file to one bigger file. And this bigger file can be dynamic or fixed size on hard drive. I working on SSD disk, so it is very fast 🙂 I use comnad line in windows (start > run > cmd). And enter into virtualbox directory:

And now, we can clone it into fixed size. Fixed size of this disk is better for performance on classic disk. Dynamic is better on SSD disks, because there is never-ending resize of this file and virtualbox must allocate new space if the virtual machine grows in lifetime. So dynamic file allocate its space at the beginning. It ok for me, because I don’t care about the space of this file on beginning.
